“No,” Twilight said with the finality of Judgment Day and Ragnarok combined and tripled. “Eventually there’s nopony left at the party. It’s over. There is no more party.”
Pinkie Pie is suddenly forced to confront the inevitable (albeit distant) end of all things, and does so about as well as you'd expect.
Disclaimer: I wrote this in an hour. It doesn't reflect the overall quality of my work, unless you loved it, in which case it absolutely does.
For what it's worth, I'm actually much more disturbed by this than anyone in the story is, and think that Mrs. Cake's argument just pushes back the problem. There's not even going to be anyone left to remember the universe.
Trust you? Trust YOU? Oh ho ho, my friend. You are not one to be trusted.
Also, while Ms. Cake's metaphor is as good as any other, if Pinkie's really having trouble, she could always, oh, I dunno. Go ask the GOD WHO CONTROLS THE SUN WHO IS ALSO TWILIGHT'S PAL!
Bwahahha!

Shush, Einhander. The readers (all 2 of them) don't need to know that.
Pssh, Celestia. What does she know?
Also, I like how nobody read this. I mean, I pretty much put it together in an hour and a half, but still.

It's been up for 25 minutes on a Sunday.
Pinkie says, "Give it time...."

You give yourself too much credit. You couldn't STOP me from reading this.
...
Unless I'm nobody?
I thought I was Comrade!
I...
I think I'm going to go and have an existential crisis over here now.

Existential crises are best crises.

The theme of the day!
...What if, we're all imagining ourselves, and none of us really exists, and we're all a huge collective hallucination, and that the only thing that really exists is denial, and that when you attain it you pop out of the imaginary reality and then you stop to (fake) exist?

Solipsism? I refute it thus. *kicks rock*
Not bad. That was a sweet resolution at the end.

You know, if I had access to a nice, sizable chunk of computronium, playing God with a miniature, simulated universe is exactly what I'd do.

Why, thank you.
This just sounds too hilarious to pass up. I will read this soon.

Good story, and I liked how it ended, but kind of felt that it could have stood to be just a bit longer.
3105648
Oh, I completely agree.
I was right.
This was an interesting combination of hilarious and depressing. Obviously, Pinkie is the only one who could pull such a thing off.
Mrs. Cake's metaphor fit quite well, and really ended the story on a good note.
Write on,
Legion

Thanks a lot!
I like it. It's a nice short fic that still tells an interesting story and made me think a little about the nature of things. I also enjoyed the characterization of all characters involved, especially Pinkie.

Hehe, cute little story. Poor Pinkie.... Though why was Twilight talking to Pinkie about the sun going out to begin with. Twi should know better...

Thanks!
Pinkie seems to pretty much run on belief, too. I remember this topic bugged me when I was a kid... then I got over it and used it to terrorize my younger siblings.
:"Everything in the universe is going to die... Go have fun."
Here's a like. There are many like it, but this one is yours
I read this one a while ago, sorry for forgetting about it.

Silly Twilight! Entropy isn't real, he's just a villain in one of Spike's comic books! Magic means that things can go on forever.

3103331 I read it.
3518548 You terrorized your siblings with existential paranoia?
You know, I read this a long time ago but failed to give it it's due recognition.
---a few mouse clicks later---
There! Much better!
I can't believe how well the metaphor works! And all the other stuff is well-done, too; I love it.

Why, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Well, there's an extremely remote possibility that in the distant future the inhabitants of the universe might be able to escape the death of the universe by traveling to another universe, or by traveling back in time.
Barring that, there's at least one last consolation: according to my understanding of time, the past is just as real as what we call the present and future. As such, the universe won't truly cease to exist when it reaches its end, any more than a book ceases to exist once you read the final page.

Ah, but if Twilight believes the Sun (which is under Celestia's control) will one day die, that implies that she believes Celestia will one day die...

Hallucinations can only exist if there is someone to experience the hallucination. Or to put it another way, "I experience thoughts, therefore something must be thinking."
